Soldier arrested on suspicion of rape

Israeli Military Police arrested a soldier on suspicion of having raped another female soldier, a military court in Kastina said on Wednesday. The suspect's remand has been extended.

 

The defendant claims that the sex was consensual within a romantic relationship between the two.

 

The IDF Spokesperson issued a statement, saying, "On 22 May, a female soldier filed a complaint that in April she was raped by a soldier from her unit, who lived in the base where they were serving. Upon receiving the complaint, an investigation was opened, and the suspect was arrested the next day, and his detention was extended by the Military Court, Southern District, until June 1. The investigation is still ongoing."
